Dave Grohl: Rock’s Not Dead
Source : GibsonFoo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl was recently asked if he thought rock and roll was dead. It’s not the smartest question to ask a member of two rock titans – Nirvana and the Foos.
“I said, ‘Dude, ask the 130,000 people who are coming to see us at England’s Milton Keynes Bowl in July. Ask the 2,000 people who were drinking and having the night of their life at South by Southwest,” Grohl recounted to Billboard.com. He and his band recently hit up SXSW to promote the new documentary about the band, Back and Forth, and their forthcoming album, Wasting Light.
“Just because rock ’n’ roll isn’t #1 in the commercial mainstream doesn’t mean it’s gone,” he said. “It doesn’t mean it’s dead. All I know is what rock ’n’ roll means to me. It’s this living, breathing thing that you can see in someone’s eye.”
Grohl said that he loves being in a band that can play to hundreds of thousands of people in a massive venue, but also connect to fans in a more intimate way.
“There’s poetry in being the band that can sell out Wembley but also makes a record in a garage,” Grohl said. “Why go into the most expensive studio with the biggest producer and use the best state-of-the-art equipment? Where’s the rock ’n’ roll in that? What happened to the kid who dropped out of high school, painted houses and worked in a furniture warehouse just so that he could get on the road and [expletive] escape from everything? I don’t like doing what people expect me to do.”
